Is it possible to save General Ledger etc. settings?

Question

Hi,
Is it possible to save 'predefined' settings for General Ledger & Sales Analysis etc. reports?
For example in General Ledger I want some settings to be set by default when I open the GL window:
Accounts unselected,
BP selected,
Due date selected,
From and To dates set to 01.01.01 - 31.12.06,
Ignore adjustments selected,
Hide zero balanced acct unselected,
and so on!
Is this possible with SBO 2004 and/or 2005?
OR is it possible to use some stored procedure to do the trick? I would also need to print the report.
Kind regards,
Jani

Many of the standard report screens automatically save the last settings you used and re-use them when you next open the screen, so you may not even have to write code for many of these.
To automatically set them through code you will want to create a handler for the et_FORM_LOAD item event.  In this event you can set the prompts to the predefined settings you wish.  A simple example of this using the Trial Balance screen is included below:
    Dim sboItems As SAPbouiCOM.Items
    If pVal.EventType = et_FORM_LOAD And pVal.FormType = "166" And pVal.BeforeAction = False Then
        Set sboItems = sboApp.Forms(pVal.FormUID).Items
        'Accounts unselected
        sboItems("15").Specific.Checked = False
        'BP selected
        sboItems("3").Specific.Checked = True
        'Due date selected
        sboItems("77").Specific.Select "D", psk_ByValue
        'From and To dates set to 01.01.01 - 31.12.06
        sboItems("32").Specific.Value = "20010101"
        sboItems("33").Specific.Value = "20061231"
        'Ignore adjustments selected
        sboItems("89").Specific.Checked = True
        'Automatically display the report
        sboItems("1").Click
    End If
